The Shadow Monarch was walking through the path set and he would always come across many fire-Lizards that he'd have to kill.
The Shadow Monarch had a manic smile for every room he went through, he was having the time of his life or what was supposedly left of it.
As he progressed through the rooms, the Lizards started to get bigger, they were now almost double his size.
The Shadow Monarch still wasn't fazed though, even if it was the fourth room, and that next room was the boss.
"Looks like this boss is going to be a little troublesome with this body."
As he spoke, many Lizards appeared all around him but even in the somewhat dark place, he wasn't fazed.
[Black Shadow sub-skill Shadow Bomb has been activated]
Starting around The Shadow Monarch was a big explosion of shadows.
The shadows engulfed each of the Lizards and they froze quite literally.
The ice exploded onto them as soon as they were touched by the shadows.

Ace or the Shadow Monarch had gotten quite a haul from this whole dungeon.
He sat down and threw quite a lot of pills in his mouth but in 2 minutes he got up like he was fine.
[+16 Vitality]
[+15 Strength]
[+7 Mana]
His body was morphing again and it was becoming more and more athletic and strong. Ace now had the strength of the strongest bodybuilder in the world and the build of the most athletic.
"My old body was a lot better but that'll do."
The hard fiery door to the boss room opened and all that could be seen was a lava waterfall right in front of the door.
He waited for a little and then the lava waterfall started to open to a cavern of lava with almost no shadows whatsoever.
The door closed and the little pathway to the platform disconnected.
As he walked it was like an island with lava all around it and further beyond the island was a hole that even the lava didn't cover. He looked down and he saw nothing, simply because there was nothing to see.
He made it to the middle of the island and suddenly the island started to shake and there was a loud screech.
He turned around to see a Lizard the size of a building.
It climbed out of the lava and it started to slowly crawl towards The Shadow Monarch.
"Weak..."
[Black Shadow sub-skill Shadow Sword has been activated]
[Black Shadow sub-skill Shadow Extension has been activated]
The sword became massive to the point that it matched the size of the Lizard.
The Shadow Monarch crossed his arms with the Shadow Sword on one and suddenly another one appeared on the other arm as they touched.
He started to dance like a figure skater and he was having fun but while he danced each time he took a swing with his arms, the island would get cut into smaller and smaller pieces.
The Lizard got cut a few times but even so, the cuts weren't life-threatening.
[Lava Breath has been activated]
The Lizard shot breaths of lava and it constantly tried to hit The Shadow Monarch but he just kept dodging gracefully.
Suddenly the length of the Shadow increased again. It was now double the size of the Lizard and when he cut the lava was cut in half as well, he showed no mercy to any part of this room.
Then he cut a massive hole straight through the middle of the room and the lava split, in that split lava was another platform, it was like the split of the Red Sea.
The Shadow Monarch jumped into that split between lava and ground and retracted the Shadow Swords.
"Now that there is more space here we should have a proper fight. Don't you think?"
It seemed that those words aggravated the Lizard and it aggressively dived at The Shadow Monarch.
As the Lizard was diving at him, he took a stance with his legs spread out evenly where he was somewhat squatting and his right fist was on the floor.
[Black Shadow sub-skill Shadow Bomb has been activated]
He looked up at the Lizard falling on him and his feet had blown up in the shadow and he was blasted up in the air.
[Black Shadow sub-skill Shadow Punch has been activated]
He dove in with his fist cocked back ready to attack but the Lizard was a lot faster than he expected.
It disappeared into the lava within milliseconds.
The Lava was a place the Shadow Monarch couldn't control as there would be no shadow in there, he stood in the crack cautiously looking for the Lizard.
[Rock Throw has been activated]
From behind came a hot molten rock flying at him but he dodged it with ease, and he stood there once again. There was still nothing he could do except wait for it to come out. That is what would've normally happened but.
[Sound Distortion sub-skill Ripple has been activated]
He stuck his hand out and suddenly sound rippled.
The Lizard shrieked in the lava and instantly a giant shadow appeared above The Shadow Monarchs' head.
[Black Shadow sub-skill Shadow Sword has been activated]
[Black Shadow sub-skill Shadow extension has been activated]
Instantly the sword struck that same spot in the lava while the sound still rippled.
That part of the Lava was cut in half and the Lizard body was cut in half right there.
[Room Cleared]
He quickly ran over to the dead body and tapped it, as he tapped it the body disappeared leaving a red skill book and a few pills.
[18 Strength Pills found. Would you like to eat?]
[30 Vitality Pills found. Would you like to eat?]
[12 Mana Pills found. Would you like to eat?]
He put the skill book into the shadow and it disappeared and the cut that he was standing in started to close.
"Shit..."
He ran at the fastest speed that he could but the lava was catching up to him and then it did catch up.
The lava was about to engulf him when a shadow appeared like a roof.
[Black Shadow sub-skill Shadow Manipulation has been activated]
[Black Shadow sub-skill Shadow Bomb has been activated]
The lava fell down in front of him and it was the lava waterfall all over again. But this time he blasted through all the lava.
As he looked down he was above the abyss and then he started to fall at a speed that couldn't be seen, all he could see were flashes of light, and then he was back in that house.
He fainted and woke up like normal, the real one was back.
